Commercial Description:
Golden Spike Hefeweizen is a refreshing traditional American style Hefeweizen. It has a ruddy orange color with a clean and mildly fruity character. Hefeweizen, literally translates to "yeast-wheat." This beer is not filtered thus preserving its full-bodied character and authenticity it is also generally served with a lemon slice to enhance its naturally occurring estery flavor. Our name is a tribute to the joining of the trans-continental railway in Promontory Point Utah where the Golden Spike was driven into the ground. Try a glass and see what happens when yeast meets west.

12-oz. Thanks, BitBucket! Pours cloudy medium burnished amber with a thin gray rim of sloppy foam. Sour and unpleasant nose of DMS. Thin, watery body. Synthetic-tasting sweetness on the mid-palate. Neutral finish. Odd little beer.

Had this from a 12 oz bottle.This beer poured a cloudy golden color with a small almost invisible white head.The aromas were of yeast ,bread,light banana and the beer also had a very light body.The taste just was not that appealing to me with hints of light wheat and citrus.Not one of my favorite Hefeweizens.

Pours a bit on the clear side for a Hefe, but it does throw up a nice head and has a good deep yellow color to the body. Malty sweet aroma. A touch of sourness, some light banana. Nice full body.

Bottle poured a cloudy golden yellow with a small lingereing ivory head. Aromas of yeast, bread dough and a hint of citrus. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of yeast, bread dough, light citrus and a faint hint of banana with a smooth yeasty finish.

This beer is a far cry from a German Hefe! All it tastes like is bread yeast. It is still drinkable but not very enjoyable.

Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours deep golden with virtually no head. Nice aroma beginning with a wheat note pulsing over grains and some floral hops. Interesting hoppiness for the style. The taste is sessionable thinness of wheat, tartness, some mild sweetness, floral hops and grainy malts. OK for a hot FL (or UT) day.

Bottle. Pours a copper hue, with a frothy white head, and lots of lacing. Some citrus aromas, slight honey and wheat. Flavor has some foggy wheat notes, soft biscuit. Mellow, doesn’t fit the style very well, but pretty drinkable. Nothing exciting.
